The Game of Thrones OFFICIAL thread

Well shes a woman so she rolled that -10 on logic score.

It’s hers by right.

And she isn’t smart. Daario said it last week: You’re not a ruler, you’re a conqueror.

I also think it should be snowing in KL at this point. Winter is fuckin comin y’all.

I haven’t seen Deadwood but I love HBO’s loyalty to some of their actors. I recognized Ian from the Deadwood commercial and I know that Omar was in Boardwalk Empire.

Also Littlefinger.

Waiting for Omar to show up on GoT. One of those bad ass archers from the summer isle.

GRRM created Dany based on his own childhood experiences. His family used to be wealthy dock owners in New Jersey but lost it during the Great Depression and he grew up wondering why they couldn’t reclaim their wealth and status again.

The Targaryen’s conquered and ruled Westeros for three centuries and everything Dany knows about her family’s history she learned from Viserys. Obviously Viserys was going to embellish a lot of things and talk about how great the Targaryen’s were and that they are the rightful rulers and how evil the Baratheons/Starks/Lannisters/Arryns, etc are for rebelling against them. She didn’t even know her father was the Mad King and the real reason why the rebellion happened until Barristan told her.

Dany’s story has been shit for the last two seasons, and the writers have given her so much plot armor that it never feels like it matters whenever she runs into a difficult situation. Because hey, Dues Ex Machina to the rescue to save the Breaker of Chains, the Unburnt, Mother of Dragons, rightful ruler of Westeros, widow of the benevolent Khal Drogo, daughter of the noble King Aerys, sister to noble kidnapper and war starter Rhaegar, (and whatever other titles she adds to her name) who clearly deserves to rule…just because. She can’t even rule a single city, how the fuck is she ever going to be able to rule Westeros? She’s essentially a foreigner to Westrosi peoples. But she thinks everyone will just welcome her, a Dothraki horde, an army of unsullied, and three dragons with open arms. And it just so happens that Euron happens to come along out of the blue to give all of his fucking ships to her, because hey, why should Dany ever have to work for anything when she’s been given everything that she’s got?

But fuck that, Sandor Clegane is back, that’s the main thing that matters.

WHAT IS HYPE MAY NEVER DIE

Pretty sure that bit in the book is just a cover story, to be honest.

so i had a got and chill night with this bitch tonight. and she wouldnt shut the fuck up about whats gonna happen book wise. i know shits different but i really was ready to chuck her out of a window…youd think she was rock with tits with her spoiling ass.

Ol’ Sandor Clegane back in action, gonna go on some Rambo rampage. I can’t wait to see the maelstrom of blood that will flow! Oh yes, there will be blood!

**Stuff I noticed:

-Arya! I thought you’d have a bit more presence of mind when you betrayed an assassin’s guild. I was hopingwhen fake granny was approaching Arya was gonna be like, “Gotcha bitch!”

-Lady Mormont aka Punky Brewster got some hutzpah, I think she’ll make a good leader once she matures. At least her men seem to be honorable and trustworthy.

-So they Yara Greyjoy a lesbian or bisexual for the show? I read that she had different male lovers in the books and takes special birth control, so I guess they’re switching it up.

-Sansa is so impulsive and dumb, that letter will likely cause huge problems. I bet that raven carrying her message is going to be intercepted by the Boltons and they will know about the gathering of men.

-It’s amazing how the screams of slayed peasants were somehow missed by Sandor, was he miles deep in that forest?

-I might be in the minority, but in the very beginning of this ep, due to the cold open and the primitive clothing of the people, I actually thought we were witnessing the past, showing Bran the Builder laying the foundations for what would be The Wall while it was still summer. But I guess The Hound is so beloved he deserved the special intro.

FWIW, I don’t think the books ever said she wasn’t bisexual. I don’t think it ever came up. I know the scene was just gratuitous, but I’m not complaining anyway. At least it was a character I like in a gratuitous and relatively happy scene for a change.

The Hound’s ears aren’t in the best shape any more, at least externally.

I’m sort of surprised the Bros w/o Banners are such dicks.

I thought they were generally decent to the smallfolk, despite their religious differences.

I like that the main one of the trio was wearing his lemon colored cloak.

Arya is one tough lil lady. Anyone else taking a stabbing like that and they woulda been shishkabob.

It did seem like one, but its been so long I don’t even know anymore.

Also, I wasn’t under the impression “Oh the Hound missed hearing the sounds of everyone dying and they happened to be dead when he was back”. It seemed to me like he ran back BECAUSE he heard screaming and didn’t get there in time.

Thing is, the scene was badly constructed. It just seems implausible that the Hound could have been in earshot for that and not have made it back before all those people were stone cold dead.

Might have worked better if he got there just as the attackers were riding off, but even then they should have been sticking around a while to loot the place, which was the whole point of attacking.

Probably would have worked best if they just made it clear the Hound was far away, didn’t hear anything, and just found the encampment like that when he returned.

Yeah, that scene made little sense but I ignored it because he now has an axe.

And now he’s just gotta grind it! Okay…that was bad.

This! Whole episode was Hound trying to get his head around being a real person again, getting comfortable then having it all snatched away forever cementing his hatred of the gods, then he sets out for vengence like a fucking boss.

It was basically all the best parts of the star wars franchise condensed into 8 minutes of screen time without the child abuse.

Hound went up against the Brotherhood before and lost. I don’t think any of them really worship the Lord of Light like old dude did but if they do and are like him well he’s gonna be properly fucked.

Fixed it for you.

The Hound even LOOKS like an amalgam of Chuck and Steven with extra facial burns.
